yet Armed Teachers are right there if needed

The Gun Free School Zones Act of 1990 was supposed to eliminate school massacres. Its sponsor, Democrat Joe Biden, obviously doesn't realize that when your plan fails, reality is telling you to change your mind and do what does work instead.

Lawmakers in a number of states realize that disarming responsible citizens is an ineffective way of stopping shooting sprees by criminals and deranged individuals. They are now considering a far more intelligent response to massacres of the unarmed: How to terminate ineffective laws and regulations eliminating the teacher's right to protect herself as well as his students.

1. Harrold School District

The prairie community of Harrold considered the threat of mass shootings at schools very carefully. In 2007 its school board voted unanimously to allow responsible employees to carry a concealed weapon. Each employee must obtain a state concealed-weapons permit, and then be approved by the board based on his/her personality and reaction to a crisis.

Experience shows that the ostensibly perfect solution of having an armed security guard at each and every school just doesn't work. Yet it's not just ineffective, it's also very costly. The evidence from Columbine demonstrates this ineffective strategy as both tried and wanting.

3. The Cops in Schools Program

How can an armed deputy remain motivated year in and year out with nothing else to do but protect a school against the unlikely appearance of a deranged shooter? Those offering such solutions need to think things through. They need to explore the immediate as well as the hidden consequences of their actions.

Responsible lawmakers now know how to stop such shooting sprees: Ensure the widespread availability of responsible people on-site with a gun, yet also to recognize the very slender chances that it would be needed.

4. Criminals fear People with Guns

The knowledge that their victims can be armed is a strong deterrent for both violent criminals and deranged individuals. They don't care if they injure their prey yet they actively avoid getting injured themselves.

But in gun-free Britain, where hot burglaries account for about 45 percent of all break-ins, my late father was petrified of violent burglars. Britain has three times more hot burglaries than the USA, a more violent country with many armed citizens. British criminals prefer homes that are occupied because it makes finding all the valuables to steal far easier...

The shooter went to the Century 16 theater, the only cinema which did not allow concealed carry, passing by several others nearer. Why? Legal gun owners are turned away by Cinemark managers diligently enforcing their "gun-free zone." Their fanatical stance ensured that the shooter in the Aurora massacre met no one able to defend themselves.

Yet gun ban fanatics ignore all such grim evidence and panic about the mayhem resistance by an armed citizen might cause.

They just ignore the mayhem in the massacres already caused by mass shooters not stopped with a bullet. They refuse to contemplate why, when plane hijackings were the rage, Israel put security guards with firearms on their planes. Why ship hijackings have significantly decreased now that ships carry armed guards...

6. The Inconvenient Truth

Gun control zealots ignore such inconvenient truths, and decline to ask themselves why. Such facts are also ignored by those in the media encouraging hysterical responses rather than meaningful discussion.

Yet there are those willing to consider the facts rationally. One parent whose child was killed in the Columbine shooting spree told Reuters that: "It certainly wouldn't hurt to have someone who is armed - even a teacher - who has the courage to protect the children at schools."
